Chapter 1294: Appraisal


    The ck-armored elder turned and looked at Jiang Yi as his eyes lit up, and he smiled, saying, Is this young man a friend of Young Master Wei?


    Yes!


    He Wei heartedly patted Jiang Yi on the shoulders and said, These two are both my friends. I met them on the way. This youngd is not bad; I intend on rmending him to enter the Demon-Killing Pavilion. That shouldnt be a problem, right?


    None at all! The elder nodded at Jiang Yi courteously. However, the elder did not say anything to try and persuade Jiang Yi; he only beckoned with his hand. Jiang Yi paused as he looked at the Earth Emanations Pavilion and Battle God Pavilion castles. He was still hesitating. After all, he had not yet figured out the power bnce in this domain.


    Swish! Swish!


    A few guards stood outside the two castles. At the moment Jiang Yi had looked over, two captains outside the castles suddenly looked over. Their eyes glistened as voice transmissions from them both rang out in Jiang Yis mind.


    Youngd, the Earth Emanations Pavilion wees you. In the Earth Emanations Pavilion, you can receive an unlimited amount of resources and mentoring. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will have the chance to be the Earth Emanations Sovereigns disciple. When that happens, it will even be possible for you to be a Prefecture Lord.


    Young ascender, the Battle God Pavilion is the strongest faction in the Higher Domain. It was jointly founded by four Supreme Thearchs. The Battle God Pavilion is very stringent in epting new members. You managed to ascend despite your young age; your gifts are not ordinary. As long as you pass the appraisal, you will be able to join the Battle God Pavilion and be a member of the most powerful faction in this world! You can then traverse the entire Earth Domain as you please; you will even have the chance to go to the Heaven Domain.


    The men from the Earth Emanations Pavilion and Battle God Pavilion were both trying to win him over. The Earth Emanations Pavilion gave Jiang Yi the impression that one could join as one pleased, and one would be nurtured greatly. He would even have a chance to be the Earth Emanations Sovereigns disciple? This seemed a little far-fetched.


    The Battle God Pavilion, on the other hand, made Jiang Yi feel a little ufortable. It was bragging a little too much. Founded by four Supreme Thearchs? Members could go about the Earth Domain freely as they pleased? He still needed to pass an appraisal to get in?


    Jiang Yis gaze turned towards the elder from the Demon-Killing Pavilion that hade to receive He Wei. The elder obviously knew that the Earth Emanations Pavilion and the Battle God Pavilion were sending Jiang Yi voice transmissions, and yet the elder smiled and said nothing. Jiang Yis eyes shone as he looked at the elder and said in a low voice, He Wei said that he could help me find a friend I lost while ascending together. My Lord, He Wei is not lying to me, right?


    Of course not!


    The elder replied firmly, Commander He has eyes and ears all about the Blue Eagle Prefecture. Finding someone should not be that much of a hassle.


    Alright then!


    Jiang Yi decided resolutely and said, I wish to join the Demon-Killing Pavilion.


    The elder smiled and said no more. He brought Jiang Yi into the Demon-Killing Pavilions castle. The men from the Earth Emanations Pavilion and Battle God Pavilion also stopped sending him voice transmissions; they didnt even bother to look over anymore. It seemed as if the three factions had an unspoken agreement not to openly influence an ascenders choice.


    The Demon-Killing Pavilions castle was huge. There was only one floor, and many people were entering and exiting. They all wore ck battle armor. Jiang Yi realized that everyones breastte had a blood-red wolf head symbol. The elder that came to receive He Wei also had the same symbol on his armor. This should be the insignia of the Demon-Killing Pavilion.


    The trio entered into a central hall; there was nothing in it except for ten corridors. The ten separately branched into side halls. In the middle of the central hall was a statue of an imposing and dashing middle-aged martial artist. His ck battle armor also had the same blood-red wolf head symbol. There was a fiendish aura emanating from the statue. The ck Deity looked at it and immediately felt his body grow cold.


    This is the founder of the Demon-Killing Pavilion, the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch. He is the only ascendant from the Lower Domain that became a Supreme Thearch!


    The elder introduced the statue to Jiang Yi, He Wei, and the ck Deity. He Wei hurriedly bowed respectfully to the statue. Jiang Yi and the ck Deity exchanged a look and also bowed. Regardless whether they were going to join the Demon-Killing Pavilion or notat the very least, this Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch was an ascendant; he had even been bestowed the title of Supreme Thearch. Such a formidable martial artist was worthy of respect.


    The elder hid his smile as he watched the trio and brought them into the first corridor to the left and into a side hall.


    A middle-aged man in ck armor sat in that side hall. His wolf head symbol was slightly different, however. Behind the wolf head, there was an additional longsword symbol. He looked as the group entered and nced questioningly at the elder. He then looked at Jiang Yi as his face revealed his understanding. He smiled slightly and said, I wondered why Elder Bu would personally make a trip himself; it seems you have found an exceptional young seedling.


    Keke!


    The elder smiled faintly and said, Captain Chen, thisd is indeed an exceptional young seedling. Also, this is Commander Hes son. Commander He had sent me a message asking me to receive him first; themander will be arriving slightlyter.


    Oh?


    Captain Chens gaze turned towards He Wei as he grinned and said, I see, its Commander Hes son. In that case, the two of you will not need to be appraised. You can straightaway be in-name disciples of the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Elder Bu, bring them to be settled down.


    Wait!


    Jiang Yi suddenly spoke, The two of us? How about my friend?


    Him?


    Captain Chen lightly swept a nce at the ck Deity, shook his head and said, He is merely a small demon from the Lower Domain; he had not even be a Demon God. He is naturally not qualified to enter the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Although wethe Demon-Killing Pavilionare not as strict as the Battle God Pavilion in epting members, we are not as frivolous as the Earth Emanations Pavilion to ept everyone. You can ask him to go and cultivate first. When he reaches the Demon God Realm, he can then undergo the appraisal.


    The ck Deity saw that Jiang Yi still wanted to say something and hurriedly stopped him. The ck Deity shook his head and said, Forget it, Young Master. I will go and cultivate more first.


    No way.


    Jiang Yi said very firmly, If we are to enter, we will do so together. If not, I will not join the Demon-Killing Pavilion either.


    He Wei looked anxious as his gaze turned towards Elder Bu and asked, My Lord, can an exception be made? If he doesnt join any of the three factions, he wont be able to stay in the tribe. With his strength, if he went outside, he would be killed by the Chaos Beasts.


    There is no choice!


    Elder Bu shook his head and said, The rules are rules. Unless thisd can attain an A grade in the appraisal. In that case, we can specially make a request to Commander Liu.


    Thats right!


    Captain Chen also nodded and said, What is your name? If you wish for your friend to stay, you two will have to go under the appraisal. Also, you two will have to attain an A grade. You both have to consider carefully. This appraisal is very dangerous; you two could die if something goes wrong.


    Jiang Yis eyes shed as he asked, My name is Jiang Yi; what is the appraisal about?


    Killing someone!


    Captain Chen produced a scroll. He perused for a while and said, We received news yesterday that the Jiyang Tribe to the south has been controlled by the Netherworld Realm. A small troop will be heading soon to handle the situation. Your mission is to follow the troop and head to the Jiyang Tribe together. You have to at least kill ten people. I will warn you first: although this tribe is very small, there are a dozen-odd Martial Generals in it. If you two are not careful, you could die there.


    Controlled by the Netherworld Realm?


    Jiang Yis eyebrows rose as he asked, What does that mean? Has the Netherworld Realms ws extended even to the Earth Emanations Domain?


    Haha, it seems like you are still not clear of the situation in the Higher Domain.


    Captain Chen smiled slightly as he looked at Elder Bu and said, Exin the situation to him, please.


    Elder Bu nodded and said, The Netherworld Realms ws had not only extended to the Earth Emanations Domain, but their forces have even spread to the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Domains. In fact, many domains havepletely fallen under their control. The Demon-Killing Pavilion, the Battle God Pavilion, and the Earth Emanations Pavilion were formed with the mission of resisting the Netherworld Realm and protecting the living.


    Although the Earth Emanations Domain is now being ruled by humans, the Netherworld Realm has been secretly sending out envoys to use their mystical abilities and secretly nurture or control factions, big and small. They are attempting to destroy and upy the Earth Emanations Domain from the inside! Once any faction or martial artist is discovered to be under the Netherworld Realms control, the Earth Emanations Domain, the Demon-Killing Pavilion, and the Battle God Pavilion would send men to kill these people.


    So thats how it is!


    Jiang Yis eyes revealed his killing intent. The Netherworld Realm was his nemesis. Since the Demon-Killing Pavilions mission was to resist the Netherworld Realm, it seemed like he had made the right choice. He gritted his teeth and said, Alright, we will ept this appraisal.


    If he could not even pass such a trivial appraisal, Jiang Yi would have no way to make a name for himself in the Earth Emanations Domain; much less find a way to eliminate the threat the Netherworld Realm is posing to the Stersky Domain. He might as well kill himself right here, right now.
